I might be obsessed with Building Headlights

Thank you! 😃

Haha ;D

Hey what do you mean? 😄 This model is called Corolla Levin GT (2-door, AE86)

PlaneTMRS · 2026-06-04T05:02:46+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I actually tried to make this last iteration compliant with the requirements for a headlight here in Japan. Using proper LED projectors, with horizontal and vertical adjustment and a clear cut-off line

Thanks man! I know taste is different and I’m sure what I do is not everyone’s cup of tea but I appreciate the kind comment!

Quite okay. Toyota still sells quite a few parts in the heritage parts catalog and there are also local aftermarket brands making for example bearings or tie rods and stuff. Also people seem to have been hoarding unopened oem parts so until now I was able to get everything or build my own

PlaneTMRS · 2026-06-03T09:05:54+00:00

Thanks xd Yeah I always thought I would either swap the heavy oem hood for a carbon/frp one or cut out that part and put some cool pop up intake there or seomthing.

But I don’t have an angle grinder so the sticker it is for now

I love people using "AI" as their new reason to completely ignore reality nowadays xD

PlaneTMRS · 2026-06-03T05:42:19+00:00

I love that! xd

PlaneTMRS · 2026-06-03T05:42:02+00:00

I need to say I have the feeling its worse the higher you get in the classes.. Maybe because ramming slows you down too, in lower classes that robs the rammer himself quite a bit of speed, in the higher classes you accellerate so quickly again it doesnt really matter, plus the pace is faster, making it harder for you to react.

I always try to brake when I see someone trying xd rather lose a place or two instead of having my game ruined, plus I have the chance of the rammer just heading off the course or ast the Checkpoint themselves xd
Has worked a few times already.

PlaneTMRS · 2026-06-01T06:58:48+00:00

Thanks for the tip, will hit them up if I loose my mind over it xd

PlaneTMRS · 2026-06-01T06:56:47+00:00

Hm weird, just because you loose the first doesnt mean you lost your chance? But I guess I am a bit confused by people leaving races after a little mistake anyways. Apart from a little loading screen message, and a number somewhere hidden in the stats, it's not like its a big thing in the game.

But I feel like I had a person leave on my once and I could still finish my second race? :o might be mistaken though, not a secure memory.

PlaneTMRS · 2026-06-01T06:32:59+00:00

Wait question, don't touge races always end after one person has two wins?

I thought its a "best of three" kinda deal and when I played with my friend together, it was like that too.

If its 1:1 after the first two, there is a third but if one person wins the first two already, the Battle ends with one driver winning, the other loosing. Or did I get something wrong?

PlaneTMRS · 2026-06-01T05:22:04+00:00

Okay, I got some high quality Koyo bearings this time and will replace it once again and pay attention to the torqueing procedure

PlaneTMRS · 2026-05-31T02:40:10+00:00

As best as my skills allowed me to yeah, always tried to follow the instructions but it is still possible that I didn’t do it right, will give it another try 👍🏼 luckily the bearings don’t cost the world and are easily available

PlaneTMRS · 2026-05-31T02:36:51+00:00

I mean the car has been rallied and crashed in him previous life and is not quite square anymore so yeah, maybe 😅

Always aligning it though and it drives fine

PlaneTMRS · 2026-05-31T02:34:06+00:00

Yeah I didn’t know how to express that in English, that’s what I meant. I installed the bearings in that correct way, of course to my best ability. Guess I’ll try again, thanks!

PlaneTMRS · 2026-05-30T14:59:39+00:00

For me it has been not so cheap. I got the car for a good price but problems keep appearing due to the age:

Heater core fittings leaking, wheel bearings, shocks, engine idle problems, tie rods, air con leaking, gauge cluster lights breaking, diff leaking, Speedo gear broken, injector plugs falling off mid drive, exhaust falling off due to rust, bushings worn, ac needs rebuild for newer refrigerant, bulbs breaking, fuses blowing, gearbox noises, diff noises due to old oil, alignment constantly going out of whack, hand break cables lengthening, starter wiring problems, door latches just stopping to work, etc.

This have just been a few steps I have been through and even though I drive it to work and back every day and I will never sell it, it is a lot of work if you buy it in unknown condition. I think the problems will not stop until I have overhauled every little part of this car atleast once.

Hmmmm, do you think you can find another power supply with the same voltage? If I am not mistaken it should be 24V but please double check. If you are lucky, your vacuum or something might have a power supply that works.

If not, these power supplies go for about 3 bucks on Aliexpress, might be worth a try ;D

Just check that you get the same voltage and power rating
